Pure Water for Educators
A teachable novel that brings African entrepreneurship, ethics, and leadership to life in the classroom.
Why Teach Pure Water?
Pure Water is more than a compelling story—it's a teaching tool that helps students understand the complex realities of entrepreneurship through narrative rather than theory.
Unlike traditional business textbooks, Pure Water embeds lessons about governance, integrity, systems thinking, and character within an engaging African context that resonates with contemporary students.

- Character-driven lessons: Ethics and governance emerge naturally from the story

What Educators Are Saying
"Pure Water gave my students a framework for understanding entrepreneurship that no textbook could. The discussion quality was exceptional—students connected deeply with Alex's journey and applied the lessons to their own ventures."
— Dr. Kwame Mensah, Professor of Entrepreneurship, University of Ghana
"I've taught business ethics for 15 years. Pure Water is the first book that got my students to genuinely grapple with governance questions before a crisis forces the issue. The betrayal scenes sparked our best discussions all semester."
— Professor Sarah Okonkwo, Business School, Lagos
"My leadership students needed to see mentorship in action, not just read about it in theory. Uncle Benjamin became a reference point for the entire course. The virtual author visit was the highlight of the semester."
— Dr. James Adeyemi, Leadership & Management Department
